If you ever shared a room with a sibling when you were a kid, you know how it created a special bond, knowing your sister or brother was nearby, even though you weren’t afraid of the dark. Ok, so there were also a few declarations of “this is MY side of the room” (cue the visual of the white tape dividing a room as seen on a million TV shows from The Brady Bunch to Friends), but we won’t go there! Now that we’re the parents, we know it’s important to create a comfortable space for two (or more) kids, especially when space is limited.
We searched high and low for some stylish space-saving furniture and décor accents that will make any room special, regardless of size.

Bunk beds were of course the first thing that came to mind – who didn’t have a bunk bed when they were little?! Finding ones with built-in storage is an important added bonus when conserving space.

Look at space differently and think about how to divide it up. We love how this closet has been repurposed to include a desk and chair, as well hanging clothes. And of course, these adorable storage bins are just as cute as they are functional.

Double duty furniture, like this Lego storage container with play center on top, is brilliant for keeping clutter under control while giving kids an ultimate place to play.
Personalized growth charts can offer a variety of design options while giving kiddos a sense of shared ownership, like our new Monsterrific personalized growth chart, can be customized to say “Sisters” or “Brothers,” Picture Me can include pics of siblings posing together as well as individually, or multiple names can be highlighted, like on our Color Me personalized growth chart.
